Another problem that I personally experienced growing up as a witness is that you had to be a certain kind of witness in order to be accepted into the social activities as the JW, as well. If you do not come from a strong spiritual family who are elders, pioneers, and servants, then you are not as easily accepted. And if you have problems in your family that do not reflect the perfect JW family lifestyle, forget it!
I experieced both. I was an elder's daughter and my mother was a regular pioneer. In fact, I was a regular pinoeer myself when I was a teenager. One day, our family double life was exposed and everyone found out we did not have the perfect family home life that everyone thought. After that, things changed and we were treated as social rejects, even by JW standards.
I see the same thing happening now with my teenage neice. She is not accepted by her supposed peers at the Kingdom Hall because they all come from two parent strong families, and most of them are homeschooled. At the same time, she is not allowed to have friends outside the org, so where does that leave her? As a social retard ... that's where.
